There are times - especially at the top of the hour - where there are quite a few downloads going on at once - and this will slow things down a bit.
At 0100 - where this thread started - there were more than 100 connections allocated to a single client. I have adjusted this server's settings to prevent that from happening.
We have plans in place to mitigate these issues over the next 6 months. Until then there will be occasional slowdowns, particularly while systems that run scheduled rather than triggered updates continue to congregate at the top of the hour.
Avoiding that time period and following the staggered schedule we have suggested will help quite a bit. Even better if updates can be triggered by our update notifications since this allows our system to pace downloads and use the available resources most efficiently.
Pete,
Since I've moved to an automatic update system, I've seen my downloads speed up dramatically most of the time. On average, I'm seeing about 800kbps, sometimes that number jumps as high as 1.5Mbps, and at other times it is 90kbps, so I'm pretty sure it's just load...
Any way, I just thought I'd interject my .02...
